Check out these Just Kiddin’ Suite cards by our Artist of the Month!

Today I'm sharing multiple cards made by Marla – our February Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team.  She chose to feature the Just Kiddin' suite seen here.

Save

This card was cased from Lisa Curcio and is called a 3 tiered easel card.  It's a neat fun fold card.   

Save

The front two panels are folded down in the photo above so you can see the back panel of the 3 tiers. Very clever!  

Save

She used one of the scenes in the DSP for her background and added the girl, ball, pennants, stool and greeting!

Save

This is a mini slimline card. I believe she stamped the pillows but the rest are cut from the DSP or die-cut with the dies in the bundle. 

Save

Here she added the kids, a greeting and the 'block' castle to the Just Kiddin' DSP scene. 

Save

ON the card above she scored the back of her card base in half (2 3/4") and added the scene and the greeting strip in front with extra scored ends that create a curved element. That pretty purple glimmer paper is from our Online Exclusives.  So cool! 

Save

This scene is made with the dies in the Just Kiddin' bundle seen here and of course the little girl (fussy cut) from the DSP. 

Save

Adding the kids with Dimensionals completes the scene. I love how she let the Just Kiddin' DSP do the work of the background!

Save

This gatefold card opens up to reveal a full scene! Don't yo love the little baby peeking out!?

The greeting is on one layer and the kits are on another layer; both have a double score line that makes them pop up slightly. 

Save

 

Didn't she do an incredible job showcasing the Just Kiddin' suite?!  Great job Marla!!

• Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card

  April 21, 2021

  ---

  I have a few special cards to share today.  They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't.  At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them.  Scroll down to see it or click here.

  This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.  

  Save

  It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies.  The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP.  I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

  I posted the measurements in the photo for you.  I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots. 

  Save

  This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card.  I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle!  Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!  

  Save

  This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder.  It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed.  Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.  

  Save

  This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go!  But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love. 

  Here's the video; I hope you watch it!

• Circle Celebration; so fun!

  April 20, 2021

  ---

  I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap.  I love seeing their style and what my gals make. 

  Save

  She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here) all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS.  Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card. 

  I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red. 

  Such a fun and happy card.  Great job Chanda! 

  I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!

• 3 Flowering Cactus Fun Fold cards with video!

  April 19, 2021

  ---

  I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog.  But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents. 

  You'll find the video below.  For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.  

  I share a FB Live video each Tuesday at 11 am CT.  Join me here!

  This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another. 

  The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White.   The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays.  The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog. 

  Save

  Next is an accordion style card.  I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold. 

  Save

  This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog. 

  Save

  Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below. 

  Save

  The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White.  The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.  

  Save

  Here's the video for you; enjoy!
